Before writing or rewriting

Please observe the following points when you write or rewrite data.
Based on TOSHIBA's limited compatibility testing, we suggest the following
manufacturers of CD-R/RW and DVD-R/+R/-RW/+RW/-RAM discs.
However, in no event does TOSHIBA guarantee the operation, quality or
performance of any disc. Disc quality can affect write or rewrite success rates.

If the disc is poor in quality, dirty or damaged, writing or rewriting errors may
occur. Be careful to check the disc for dirt or damage before you use it.
The actual number of rewrites to CD-RW or DVD-RW/+RW/-RAM is
affected by the quality of the disc and the way it is used.
There are two types of DVD-R: authoring and general use discs. Do not use
authoring discs. Only general use discs can be written to by a computer drive.
You can use DVD-RAM discs that can be removed from a cartridge and
DVD-RAM discs designed without a cartridge. You cannot use a disc with a
2.6 GB single-sided capacity or 5.2 GB double-sided capacity.
Other DVD-ROM drives for computers or other DVD players may not be able
to read DVD-R/+R/-RW/+RW/-RAM discs.
